Strategic Overview - US & Russia Relations Is the Pivot Point - March 16, 2026
Mike Steger argues Trump's Iran strategy is really about reorganizing global relations to end neocon permanent-war dynamics, framing U.S.–Russia collaboration as the decisive pivot for ending perpetual war.
In this March 16, 2026 Promethean PAC Monday night strategic overview, host Mike Steger argues that the key question in the Iran conflict is not oil prices or regime change, but whether President Trump can reorganize global relations to prevent future administrations from being trapped by Washington "deep state" and neocon permanent-war dynamics. He traces a long strategy of using radical Islamist destabilization and the 1979 Iranian regime as a "permanent enemy" to justify Middle East conflict and ultimately drive confrontation with Russia, citing Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and the Russia proxy war. Steger contends Trump is operating from a different map: maintaining dialogue with Russia, pressuring reluctant allies over Strait of Hormuz security, and challenging the UK’s escalatory role in Ukraine. He frames U.S.–Russia collaboration as the decisive geopolitical pivot for ending perpetual war and shifting toward nation-state cooperation.
